SHAWN the SHEEP lives in the Southern Alps !!
... for morning tea (a daily happening, wherever we are) at Arthur's Pass, crossing back over the Southern Alps. Another half-hour down the road we stopped at Flock Hill Sheep Stations, to tour a working sheep station. Richard, the farmer, demonstrated how the two sheep dogs can get a flock of sheep from one paddock to another, with only one person using a whistle to give them a command. This is a 36,000 hectares station, extending between two ...
